In short, we dedicate another organisation to take care of a tool which has become essential to us. I think this is fair to help them... just as readers think we are an essential tool and support us.
'nuff on the topic. You want to help, you do. You do not want to help, you do not. Simple and light like air :-)
I suppose that is fair enough, but I thought freenode's near constant pandering for support on IRC was enough. I'm not the only one that thinks this: several notable free software projects avoid freenode as well.
Back when I was a part of Xiph.org, we setup our own irc network because we became tired of freenode's constant nagging of our contributors and several other free projects moved onto it for the several years I ran it.
